they didn't know or you didn't communicate that there would be insurance applied to the shipment (though one could argue that they should assume this for anything of value). If you wanted to be a nice guy you could offer to split it with them but ultimately, it doesn't seem like it is your responsibility for their taxes/fees.

I'm already splitting the cost of the shipping which was expensive or I'd make that offer. - Krusty Jul 22, 06:08 2
- Yeah, if you told him that I don't see a problem on your end -- nm - oblique Jul 22, 06:09 1
  - Thanks. I still feel bad and hopefully he can get them to lower it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 06:19
